I find it hard to believe you asked anyone.........
Can you imagine the furor when the box arrived?
I have learned a bit about survival techniques.
That stubble would foul my walker....
.
I think they are watching porn?.
It really made a difference, about noon the sun came out and it doesn't even look like it rainedWell that's great, nothing like real rain water to get the garden GOING.....
No rain here today, so I did laundry.
Time for sleep.
Nite everyone.
Nite everyone.
G'Night Robert see you tomorrow
My day was busy. Thank God it's done. But, there's always tomorrow.
Yep. I ain't gotta do laundry tomorrow.
No rain here either, so right after breakfast, I drove to Faith (27 miles east of here) to get a license tag at DMV, drop off a UPS package, buy some milk (cow is dry), and fill three 5-gallon cans with gas, then home to tag the small trailer, hook it up to the truck, and load the Troy-Bilt riding mower, then drive to Belle Fourche (75 miles west of here), demonstrated how badly it was running, then unload it so they could work on it, at which point it started running perfectly (something about the six inch drop off the back of the trailer fixed it?). I left it with them anyway and bought a new CubCadet (about a thousand dollars a month for the rest of my life), loaded that on the trailer and came home to eat left-over pizza for dinner and do chores. I think I would rather have done my laundry.
Tomorrow, I have to sand down an antique bed my mother bought this past weekend. That ought to take just about the whole day, or longer.No rain here either, so right after breakfast, I drove to Faith (27 miles east of here) to get a license tag at DMV, drop off a UPS package, buy some milk (cow is dry), and fill three 5-gallon cans with gas, then home to tag the small trailer, hook it up to the truck, and load the Troy-Bilt riding mower, then drive to Belle Fourche (75 miles west of here), demonstrated how badly it was running, then unload it so they could work on it, at which point it started running perfectly (something about the six inch drop off the back of the trailer fixed it?).

I think I would rather have done my laundry.
By the way, I can also wish I had the kind of income that would allow me to pay a thousand bucks a month for anything. It just ain't happening.
You must know I was kidding about the payments... because on my budget, it will "feel" like that much.

Nothing like having a "spare mower"......No rain here either, so right after breakfast, I drove to Faith (27 miles east of here) to get a license tag at DMV, drop off a UPS package, buy some milk (cow is dry), and fill three 5-gallon cans with gas, then home to tag the small trailer, hook it up to the truck, and load the Troy-Bilt riding mower, then drive to Belle Fourche (75 miles west of here), demonstrated how badly it was running, then unload it so they could work on it, at which point it started running perfectly (something about the six inch drop off the back of the trailer fixed it?).

I did have to wonder. Never seen a Cub Cadet cost more than a couple grand. But I considered "Yankee inflation".
Nothing like having a "spare mower"......
Now if I just had a spare mower driver...
$1599 (plus tax) for a 2-cylinder 20HP w/46" deck and, get this... a 3 year warranty! (that I did not have to pay extra for)

A couple of years back, we got a Huskee with a 42 inch deck for $1000. It does the job just fine for what we use it for.
Damn, that is a good price....!
Ooooh. Mower races!
Didn't think of that, thanks Sarah....good one...!
Yeah, times change, as do prices. Back in 1998, I paid $500 for a brand new MTD (42") and beat the crap out of it every week for seven years before it died. I have never had one last that long since, no matter how much I paid.
Perzactly. She don't do outside machinery. Oh, she could if she really wanted to (I know she could easily learn), but we all have our preferences. Her domain is inside and mine is outside.
I have been checking this. Some cubs are made here (mine says "assembled in USA from US and Global components"). Husqvarna, a Swedish company, is building riding mowers in Virginia.

G'night Dale see you tomorrow my friend
Sweet dreams y'all. I'm off to hit the hay here too.
Well, not all of us, but I was just popping back in to say "good night" to everyone too. So I guess you get to turn the lights off.
Night everyone.. I’m late to the party
Lots of spammers out tonight...

What Rich doesn't say is that it would be EXTREMELY unwise to set me loose with anything that has a motor and can cut things. I can't be trusted with a sharp knife in the kitchen without cutting myself (no, unfortunately I am NOT kidding), so I have to struggle along with half-sharp knives or we'd soon run out of Band-Aids. The thought of me running a chainsaw or, God forbid, a riding mower, no doubt gives Rich the cold chills. So I take care of the animals and the inside stuff, and he takes care of the grass and wood cutting. It's safer for everyone that way.
Husqvarna owned by Electrolux.
Decent stuff even though parent company is best known for sucking

Yet another government coverup?
LAKE WORTH, Fla. (AP) - Residents of a Florida city who received alerts about a power outage were also warned to look out for zombies. That's right - zombies.
The Palm Beach Post reports that Lake Worth residents received the message during a power outage Sunday.
The alert warned that more than 7,000 customers lost power "due to extreme zombie activity."
City spokesman Ben Kerr later posted a Facebook message saying officials were investigating the bogus alert and that he wanted to "reiterate that Lake Worth does not have any zombie activity currently."
Kerr says 7,880 customers lost power, but it was restored within 30 minutes. He did not mention what really caused the outage.

I liked the "currently' part. I guess that the zombie activity had died down by the time he posted that FB message?

Always keep Safety First!
That is almost as retarded as the Hawaii missile alert which is referenced in the update link released 6 hours ago.
Lake Worth falsely sends out ‘zombie’ alert during power outage
...someone's getting fired!
Well the zombie activity had decreased by the time the City Spokesperson sent out his FB message...
FB ... now our govt uses FB and twitter and such...
Yep the zombies are with us.
Hi Lannie, with me is just the opposite, i get cut with the duller knives trying to force them through thingsWhat Rich doesn't say is that it would be EXTREMELY unwise to set me loose with anything that has a motor and can cut things.

That goes without saying, Eric. But Lannie is a high IQ type who, I my opinion, can do anything she sets her mind to. She just doesn't want to play with power tools and her comment about kitchen knives is because she always is in a hurry. In all our years together, I have never been able to get the redhead to slow down. Come to think of it, I have learned to stay out of the kitchen whenever I see a knife in her hand. Beware redheads with knives.
